reordring contigs in Mauve

Question

[th526]

I am using Mauve to reorder contigs using contigs.fasta file and reference.fna file using "Move contig" function. After adding reference file and contigs.fasta file and running the function, the Mauve console opens up and throws up an error below; Exception file not opened thrown from Unknown () in geneFilesource.cpp 67 Called by unknown () Exited error code:136

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installed in virtualBox (100 gp hard disk space with 8 Gb RAM).

Could anyone let me know how to fix this problem.

Regards Thippesh

You could use command line version instead:

java -Xmx500m -cp Mauve.jar org.gel.mauve.contigs.ContigOrderer -output results_dir -ref reference.gbk -draft draft.fasta
